I finally got around to building a train display case. I don't have a layout at the moment so I was looking for a way to have the trains out.

After looking around for ideas, I decided on a design based on this thread: forum.mjf.no/topic4977&PID=.html

It's in Norwegian, but it gives the idea. I used the Ribba series 19" x 27" frame from Ikea. The shelves are made from some trim from Home Depot. MTL flex track provides the method to keep them lined up. The outer frame slides on/off and is held snug (I hope) with shims.

It's been nice to be able to see them again. I found there were some I forgot I had.

I had that same thought about a year ago....no layout and it would be nice to have some trains on display. I'm very glad I did it. (I cheated...I just bought one)

Their track ran right behind my house in my early days so used to see them all the time.
